Fellow Club 29 Rotarians:
We are in full swing with a lovely spring of 2024 and believe it or not, soon to follow will be the start of 2024-25 Rotary year. As the third largest club in the world, Club 29 offers so many benefits that result from the wide-ranging talents and interests of our members – a.k.a. you. Your efforts create them, in part, through your selfless participation on committees.
As you know, our committee work comes in all shapes and sizes. I encourage you to find a few that align with your interests, but also consider something different to stretch yourself. For newer members, take this opportunity to dive in and meet some new members and add your talents to the effort. For longer term members, please invite a new face to join you if you can. Committee work provides an opportunity to add your skills, experience and enthusiasm to advance our club, our community, and contribute to the work of Rotarians worldwide.
The 2024-25 theme is The Magic of Rotary. Members create that magic in part with every project we complete, and that work is done through service on committees. Serving on a committee also provides an opportunity to expand your contacts and friendships, but also to lend your perspective to our Club.
In gearing up for next year, so many of you have offered support, guidance, and shared your enthusiasm. So, the logical next step is to make that magic happen. As Winston Churchill observed, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
Let’s continue to make Rotary Magic happen in our 115th year!
Suzanne Mitchell
President 2024-2025
